The bravery of the people signing this anonymously is inspiring.

What's uninspiring is your ignorance of game theory.

Anyone who puts their name on that list might potentially be a target. On the flip side, there is no signaling value in putting your name on the list anonymously. Therefore anonymous names on the list believe in it (tho some people might make the calculation that they can't handle being a target but they might still resist and obstruct in other ways.)

So: It's inspiring that a lot of people are ready to obstruct or delay even if they're not ready to deal with personal consequences.
